Plants are a must have item on your front porch. They bring seasonal color and curb appeal along with a welcoming tone to the entrance to any home. Make sure you’re keeping them watered, pruned and looking fresh all season long. In the fall, switch from annual flowers to pumpkins and colorful fall accents. As the holidays approach, think evergreen branches and twinkling lights.

Color
Choose a great (perhaps unexpected) color for your front door. Your front door is a great place to show the world you’ve got a little bit of whimsy going on. Burnt Orange, Eggplant, Deep Turquoise, Dill Pickle Green–all great colors to consider giving your front façade a color lift. Coordinate that bold choice in a few accents such as pillows, a rug, or a planter painted in the same bold color choice.
Comfortable Seating
Even if you’ve only got room for a chair or two, make them comfortable enough to sit a while on. If your porch is a bit grander in size, deep seating, well-cushioned chairs and a loveseat will be appreciated by your guests.
